Do you want a super easy, delicious soup that is perfect for snowy weather?

You have come to the right place! Enter, Leek and Sweet Potato Soup. It is a soothing blend of leeks, onions, garlic and sweet potato and is whole30, paleo and vegan friendly. Perfect to take to work in a thermos for lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.

SOUP you say! Didn’t I just post a soup recipe? Well, it was a stew actually but yes. I hadn’t planned on making this recipe until I signed up for The Little Plantation‘s Food Photography Contest. The first task was to take photos of onions and leeks (or something made from onions and leeks) and of course, being up for the challenge I made this recipe. It was so easy and I loved it so much I decided to share it here!

If you are missing all of the treats and desserts during your whole30 stint like I am (I am missing this and this and this and this and this) then maybe creamy sauces and dips are your answer. So stop scrolling through Instagram and Pinterest looking at all the desserts you could be eating and make this Thai Almond Butter Sauce. It’s good. And I mean REALLY good. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy and takes 10 minutes to make.

I am protesting all of the pumpkin spice recipes I am seeing right now with this popsicle recipe. IT IS STILL 30 DEGREES OUT. IT IS STILL AUGUST. It’s hot. I don’t want pumpkin spice anything. I want popsicles for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

So here I have a late summer popsicle recipe made with peaches, hibiscus and all of that basil that is growing like crazy right now. My last popsicles were a total hit (I mean how can roasted banana and almond butter not be?) so I went with a more refreshing and fruity flavour for these which is perfect for those end of summer days.

Do I have your attention?! Good, because you don’t want to miss this recipe.

I always thought pies were hard. You’ve seen those fancy pies with crust folded in intricate patterns? They are BEAUTIFUL, but gosh they look hard to make. I even swore off pies when I started making galettes (like this Strawberry and Lemon Verbena Galette). HOWEVER, when I thought of this pie I just couldn’t get it out of my head. I had to make it, and make it my way- vegan, gluten free, paleo and open on the top. No FANCY PIES HERE. Do you want to give it a try?

What happens when the best of two world’s collide? Like, say when hummus and guacamole combine their powers of amazingness to make one dip of delicious?! PURE MAGIC PEOPLE. That is what this avocado cilantro hummus is. PURE MAGIC.

Take the best elements of guacamole- hello cilantro and lime juice- and combine them with chickpeas (because why wouldn’t you?) and you get this dip that you can take to any party, event or just eat at home by yourself. I mean, you love yourself don’t you?

Let’s get to this recipe. It’s creamy, flavourful and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I call that a winner. Want to try it? Read on friend.
